You can run the jap stereo but you need a band expander. Maybe he has one already?

Lucky, the japanese transmition bandwidth is very narrow! General banter and hongkongphoie r spot on, u need a bandwidth expander!
Your mate has probly got a uk head unit fitted in his!

jap radio's reach up to 90FM , if you fit the expander it will move the reach by 10 so when you radio displays 85FM it will be 95FM
dunno what radio frequencies are in the UK but over here its from 88FM up to 108FM and in the 88FM up to 90FM i do can receive theres only 1 radio station broadcasting

so if i buy a uk stereo will all be ok then, or will i still need an expander.

It will be fine with a new uk stereo
